Can my wife claim divorce under abandonement if I left my house on a temp basis and went to marriage counceling so that we can resolve the marriage

Alfred Joseph Polizzotto
Answered by attorney Alfred Joseph Polizzotto
Divorce lawyer at Polizzotto & Polizzotto, LLC
In New York, abandonment is a ground for a divorce provided that you have been absent from the residence for a period of one year.  Should there be a "lockout" from the residence, then your time outside the residence would not accrue. Generally, when someone leaves the marital residence and begins to reside elsewhere, the spouse who remained in the marital residence will be successful if they petition the Court for exclusive use and occupancy of the residence.  Without any pending divorce action or family court proceeding or criminal proceeding in which there is an order of protection or order of exclusive use and occupancy of the marital residence, you may be successful in returning to the marital residence at the present time. Before you undertake any actions to return to the residence to reside, you should consult with an experienced matrimonial attorney in your area. - Alfred Polizzotto, III

On what grounds or basis can i counter-claim my wife for divorce?

Kristen Prata Browde
Answered by attorney Kristen Prata Browde (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Browde Law, P.C.
The grounds for divorce that are permitted in New York are defined in Domestic Relations Law Section 170. However, the reality is that except in the most extreme cases DRL 170 (7) is the only grounds used: irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.  The reason for this is that the grounds very rarely alters anything in a divorce: you're going to get a divorce, the Court doesn't care why, and the economic and custody resolution is not altered by the grounds, except in the most extreme and unusual circumstance, which your description does not match.

Can I kick my cheating wife out of the house?

Kristen Prata Browde
Answered by attorney Kristen Prata Browde (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Browde Law, P.C.
No. You can file for divorce and seek exclusive use and occupancy - but you can't summarily evict her.
